Fix random string generation
Our variable `alphabet` contains 62 alphanumeric symbols + '\0'. When we use sizeof(alphabet) we will get 63 due to that. But we want to choose a random numbers from the 62 alphanumeric letters only. This mistake caused us to have strings with a max length of `length` instead of the exact length. When doing https://github.com/profanity-im/profanity/issues/1520 this caused our algo for muc reflection to not catch since we expect the random ID to be exactly 15 symbols long in `message_is_sent_by_us()`.
